Deputies in two Tampa Bay Area counties investigated threats at schools on Wednesday.

The Manatee County Sheriff's Office says a threat was found written on a restroom wall at Southeast High School on Wednesday prompting officials to place the school on lockdown while deputies investigated the threat. The lockdown was lifted by 12:30 p.m.

Deputies in Pasco County responded to unconfirmed rumors regarding threats on the River Ridge campus. The school was placed on controlled campus but has returned to normal activity at this time.
